Students gain hands-on experience in CSU's state-of-the-art engineering labs, working directly with faculty and staff on advanced, real-world projects.
Creating Your World is an advanced summer program at Colorado State University designed for middle school students aged 12-14, or rising 7th-9th graders, who have either completed the 'Engineering Your World' program or possess advanced STEM knowledge. This program focuses on hands-on engineering projects and design challenges that build upon core science and engineering principles. Students will engage in solving real-world engineering challenges, conducting experiments, and measuring data. Activities for the 2026 program have been updated and will involve identifying a problem, then designing, building, testing, iterating, and demonstrating a solution, likely including an Arduino-controlled robot. Participants will also have the opportunity to tour and utilize CSU's state-of-the-art mechanical engineering laboratories, including 3D printing facilities, mechatronics labs, and machine shops. The program aims to enhance critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving skills while practicing the design process.
Each day includes dynamic lessons, creative activities, collaboration with peers, and lunch around campus, with students diving into core STEM ideas.
This program is ideal for students aged 12-14 (rising 7th-9th graders) who have previously completed 'Engineering Your World' or have advanced knowledge in STEM and are eager to tackle real-world engineering challenges.
